So I have really been focusing on my fitness this past year. On legs day one of the pieces of equipment I use is the leg press machine. The problem is that I am maxing it out now. It only goes to 400 lbs and I can do about 20 reps on it at that weight. Generally if I can do more than 12 reps on an exercise I take that as a hint to increase the weight. I know the best exercise for legs is the squats but even at 200 lbs it is very painful on my shoulders and the base of my neck and I have to quit before my legs are even tired. I really think I am using proper form.
Any suggestions?
